U16 West Midlands Regional Netball Tournament:

The U15A have had a strong start to their season. Having been victorious in the U16 County Tournament their training has been focussed on the next stage of the competition, representing Shropshire in the Regional Tournament this weekend. They have had some excellent results so far with victories in all matches bar one where they narrowly lost 9-10 to an extremely strong Kings Worcester. Consistently accurate shooting and some superb reactions in the defensive circle has been key to the recent wins. However, the centre court players have been integral in the success of the team demonstrating excellent linking play downcourt. We wish them all the best in the Regional tournament.

Junior Teams:

The Junior teams have not only been honing their individual skills but also exemplifying exceptional teamwork.  Their emphasis on skill development and strategic plays and positioning is the integral to their success on the court.

Our U14B are on a clean streak winning all of their matches so far this term. The U15B team have also achieved great success and had an extremely close match against Haberdashers' Abraham Darby winning 32-31, the girls demonstrated remarkable composure under pressure, highlighting the team's collective efforts and individual prowess leading them to success in the hard-fought battle on the netball court.
